The Benchmark (brothel)

fails WP:CORP. article tries to base notability on coverage on opposition to this brothel. But this is rather WP:ROUTINE. Most new large brothels are opposed by the community and local government in Australia and this one doesn't seem the exception. LibStar (talk) 13:29, 25 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete - it's probably somewhat notable for its place in the history of illegal brothel development in NSW and Australia in general and one might argue that its approval (which the article suggests played a role in the resignation of a mayor) might be partially notable as an WP:EVENT. However, there's no evidence (that I could find) to suggest that its establishment was particular iconic or "breakthrough" or (in other words) notable and the nominator's suggestion that such opposition is routine seems accurate.

Delete, local opposition to this sort of development is hardly notable or unique. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 10:29, 28 December 2013 (UTC).[reply]
